Megan Davies

Megan Davies started as a PhD student on the TRANS-SENIOR program in February 2019 following completion of a Master’s degree in Applied Sport and Exercise Science at Sheffield Hallam University, from which she graduated in 2018. She is working on 'Multi-national multiple case examination of integrated care models for optimal transitions'. You can find more information about her research project here.

Megan has a keen interest in Older People’s Medicine, having worked as a nursing assistant during her time studying on an OPM ward and most of her research to date has focussed on physical activity and dementia. Her PhD research focusses on integrated care in nursing home environments, where the aim is to optimise the use of integrated care following a tri-national, multi-case study. While Megan will primarily be based in Basel for her PhD research, data collection will take place in Switzerland, Germany and The Netherlands, where she will also gain valuable first-hand experience of nursing homes across Europe.
